For the application of 20° of Article L. 71-113-3, provisions for liabilities and charges must be set aside as soon as the risk arises, and impairment must be recognised if an asset loses value.
The chairman of the meeting must record the depreciation or set aside the provision for the amount of the loss in value recorded or for the amount of the risk.
The depreciation or provision must be adjusted annually in line with changes in the loss in value or changes in the risk. It is written back when it has become redundant, i.e. when the loss of value disappears or the risk is realised or when the risk is no longer likely to occur.
The depreciation or provision as well as its monitoring and use are recorded on the statement of depreciation and provisions made attached to the budget and the administrative account.
